Dustin's Anabolic Pump Review
USPlabs Presents:
Anabolic Pump
Genetic Equalizer!
An Effective Anabolic For Increasing Muscle Mass And Fat Loss!
The unbelievable breakthrough compound developed by USPLabs (voted best new brand of the year by Bodybuilding.com)
Anabolic Pump is the first known Compound (OTC or Prescription) to:
* Super saturate (literally force feeds) muscle cells with glucose and amino acids
* Block glucose uptake in fat cells
* Potentiate the positive effects of insulin on muscle cells
* Block triglyceride uptake in fat cells
* Stimulate lipolysis
* Improve lipid profile
How Does Anabolic-Pump Work?
Anabolic-Pump makes food more anabolic by utilizing the natural power of the most anabolic hormone in the world - insulin. In our quest for perfection, diet is the ultimate key to success. Basic fact is that food is the most anabolic substance in the world. You can inject insane amounts of testosterone and deca, along with handfuls of d-bol and anadrol and without the proper diet-you will not grow! Ask around...this is bodybuilding gospel.
By harnessing the power of muscle specific insulin and food, Anabolic-Pump takes natural growth to unnatural levels! Insulin is the most powerful anabolic hormone produced by the body, while food constitutes the very anabolic building blocks of muscle tissue. Professional bodybuilders administer insulin and eat insane amounts of food for rapid strength and size gains. Insulin, without a doubt, forces muscle to grow fast. Unfortunately, insulin also forces fat cells to grow faster- yuck! What you end up with is a huge mass of muscle covered in a thick layer of fat. In a Perfect world fat cells would be resistant to the action of insulin. Like the moronic cliche "have your cake and eat it too" Why bake a cake and not eat it? With Anabolic-Pump you eliminate the guilt of eating the cake. Yes, we've created the perfect world... well... the perfect supplement at least!
Isn't Insulin An Extremely Dangerous Drug?
Yes, insulin is the most anabolic hormone but it's also the most dangerous. Anabolic-Pump is 200% Anabolic-Pump. Anabolic-Pump is not an insulin like substance. Anabolic-Pump is a brand new class of natural anabolic called SIMS.
What is SIMS?
SIMS stands for Selective Insulin Muscle Sensitizer. Yes, Anabolic-Pump forces your body to naturally become super efficient in utilizing insulin only in muscle cells. The miraculous nature is that it completely shuts down the fat cell's affinity to store glucose and triglycerides while causing lipolysis! Yes, read that again! Completely shuts down the fat cell's ability to store glucose and triglycerides while force feeding your muscle cells. Go ahead; take a moment to let that sink in...
What does that mean?
Muscle growth and fat loss at an extremely fast rate while supporting your health! It doesn't get any better than that!
Do you feel Anabolic-Pump or should we just believe you?
Approximately 1 hour after the first dose those "in touch" with their own physiology will feel Anabolic-Pump working its magic. The "pumped" sensation is unavoidable. We are talking a real pump not useless vasodilatation.
There is that "pumped" word again. Are you pitching useless propaganda like the NO2 supplement market?
NO2 products are regarded as perception products as they relate to gaining muscle. You get the perception that it's working solely on the basis of the pump. The pump feel is a terrific tool to sell product, however a very poor way to judge muscle growth. A great analogy is a balloon filled with helium. For a period of time it appears to defy gravity and floats in air, however it's only a matter of time before the balloon deflates and loses its magical powers. While NO2 products may not be the best choice for long term quality muscle gains, they certainly have value in the endurance market. Comparing Anabolic-Pump to NO2 is like comparing Testosterone to vitamin C.
Has it been real world tested?
Of course! USPLabs runs extensive beta testing programs with every supplement we release. In fact, we let our customers tell US what our products do! While Anabolic-Pump sounds too good to be true, it has been real world tested by your peers with a 100% success rate.
Does Anabolic-Pump contain 15 different ingredients mixed in a bucket?
At USPLabs, we boycott the "Garbage Pail" formulas. Some companies assume that if you combine 15 different ingredients, something is bound to work. Unfortunately, a few ingredients in these formulas are potentially dangerous and can send you running to the restroom in the middle of a bench press!
Anabolic-Pump is a Patent Pending engineered extract of the Phellodendron Chinese Plant (P-Insulin) and Herbal engineered Lagerstroemia Speciosa(Tannins Complex). The USPLabs research team has been in India studying and botanically engineering the proper extract for the past 2 years. We did it with Cissus Rx. Would you expect anything less than innovation from USPLabs? Other companies copied Cissus Rx... it's just a matter of time before the mock ups come. Cissus Rx has changed the joint supporting supplement market with one ingredient. We will do it again with Anabolic-Pump!! two ingredients with unbelievable qualities at 500mgs per dose!
Get huge, get lean, get healthy, get anabolic-Pump!

Review
Winded Introduction/Tangents:
Hmm... I wasn't really sure what to expect. The "Holy Grail/Yellow Gold" thread really left a bad taste in my mouth, and I swore off USPLabs products and cursed Jacob to the depths of Hades... but drama aside, things started to unravel and my interests grew. Things sounded VERY promising, and I wasn't let down.
After some length PM exchange and countless emails (sorry, Jacob! LOL) I got to see J's true colors and I gained a lot of faith in both him and USPLabs. I'm not here to judge or burn bridges... and yes, I did pay for my AP. I promised to write a comprehensive review, but the pictures I took sucked fricken ass and I'm too embarrassed to put them up. I also had a lot of adipose from getting sick three times during winter (water supply was turbid - see my SD log for more rants on that)... so yeah, here I am! Onto the actual review!! Initial Thoughts:
Well, my AP arrived pretty darn quickly (AP version 1). As mentioned above, I purchased two bottles. I'm broke as a joke, but I set some pennies aside for this product. I really looked forward to shedding some fat and staying full, and I did.
The first few times I took AP I didn't feel all too much. I did stay full, but I didn't really feel much in the way of pumps. I kept my diet the same and didn't add any variables to the mix so my review could be very unbiased. After a few days, my muscles felt harder, looked fuller, stayed PUMPED for hours after the gym and my abdominals started poking through. Holy ****!! Maybe this supplement will be promising!!  Muscular Strength/Endurance:
After a few days on AP, I noticed that my lifts were really going up. I train loosely under Dante Trudel's Doggcrapp training protocol, but sometimes I go my own way and experiment. I will be posting a log soon so people can understand this a little more, but basically you shoot for continual strength gains for a certain amount of time (blasting phase) and then you "cruise" for a while for obvious purposes.
My strength was shooting up VERY quickly, and I was fairly consistent with all of my lifts prior to. So I understand how quickly my strength gains are without any supplements, and with AP added to the mix, they were shooting up like crazy. Muscular strength and endurance were certainly there. And if I were to give this a rating on a 10 point system, 1 being fukc all and 10 being God-like gains, I'd give this product a very strong 9/10. WHAT ABOUT TEH GAINS, DUSTIN!?!?!?
Jacob touted this product as the "Holy Grail". This is a huge order to fulfill. Does this product deliver? I certainly think so. I bounced around between 170lbs to 180lbs for the two months I was on AP, and I'm positive that I probably put on at least 5lbs of solid muscle mass. I'm an extremely hard gainer, and I haven't tipped the scales at much more than 180lbs before so this was very nice. It's a non-hormonal product, it's not a steroid, it's fairly priced and there are absolutely no sides. And guess what? My bodyfat was steadily decreasing although I added between 50-80g of complex carbohydrates to my diet. Honestly, this kind of **** cannot be ignored. I'm absolutely amazed. A perfect 10/10 in terms of muscular gains and simultaneous fat loss. I changed nothing with my training or diet, except for slapping on heavier weights each time I stepped in the gym and eating more carbs. Overall Impressions/Cliffnotes:
I wasn't disappointed in the least! I felt great the whole time I used AP, and each bottle had around 100 caps. Wow!! After I finished two solid months of AP, I tinkered around with the dosages but I think I'll stick with 3 caps a day.
I put on at least 5lbs of muscle, lost around 5lbs of fat, my body composition looks great, my skin looks great, I didn't see a single side-effect and this is a reasonably priced product. Again, I paid for this out of my own pocket and this review was not influenced by anyone at USPLabs. But I would like to say thanks to Jacob, Dex, Triple and especially MulletSoldier for answering random PM's and whatnot. This is a great product, and if you haven't noticed, I haven't really bothered "reviewing" many products as of late... I've used a lot of trashy supplements, and I only care to review ones that are worthy.
I'm anxiously awaiting another two bottles of AP (version 2) and I cannot wait!! I'm looking forward to gaining some more muscle, loosing some more fat and even stacking this with XF when the time is right. Please feel free to ask any questions, but please keep this thread free of any negativity. Thanks, everyone. Back into hibernation, I go...

Blah, no need to be hypercritical. I meant that there were no huge changes aside from the hole in my stomach that I filled with extra carbs. Whatever.
I ate exactly the same except I had more oats in my post workout shake and a little more carbs with my meals. Take what you will from my review... I do this to share my experience with people because I think it's a great supplement.

I'm not saying the supplement is bad nor that your review is bad, but I think (say you have an intake of 300g a day and you add 80g) a 25% increase in carbs is a change in your diet. I would just change that to allow your review to be taken more seriously.

Jesus, are you the Grammer Police? I mentioned in the SAME sentence that nothing had changed aside from an increase in carbohydrates. Stop posting in my thread please.
Fat loss with a caloric surplus is the reason I'm not editing my post. Who fukcing cares? Honestly? I took the time to share my thoughts. They're out there. Who cares about a few grammatical issues? Obviously NOT ME!

Every retailer should be carrying the new version by now. I'm sure it'll be good. I grew very well when I used Cissus Rx, and I'm positive that the new version will be just as good, if not better.

The fact that Dustin added carbs to his diet and is claiming decreased BF is pretty extraordinary, so I dont understand why anyone is jumping on him for saying he didnt change his diet. If anything, he changed it in a way that would produce the opposite of the positive results he gained, leading me to believe AP really is the real deal and was largely responsible for his fat losses/muscle gains.
Good review Dustin. I will be using AP soon as well and I hope I see your results...although I will be bulking so we'll see if I cant add even more mass than you did

Thanks, man. I know a few other people that seem to be hyper-responsive to this product as well. And regretfully, a few people haven't responded as well as I'd thought. I don't think it's a matter of insulin sensitivity, because my blood sugar and insulin sensitivity are just fine (I will be getting blood work again soon). But hopefully others respond as well as I did/do!!
And sorry if I sounded like a snap-show earlier. Honestly... this is the kind of stuff that really made me stop posting for a while. I can't believe that everyone's at each other's throats. I'm just trying to give back to my bodybuilding brethren. I was a pinner bastard not too long ago, and it's the insight, friends and influences on this site that helped me to look like a normal Joe. What gives?

The label should indicate that there's Hydroxyl (a cissus quandrangularis ketosteroid/ketosterone extract) in there. It's added free of charge.. no stupid, jacked-up prices or anything. It seems to be very synergistic.
I'll probably bump this thread somewhere down the line if I feel there's a noticeable difference... It sure will feel nice to bump the carbs up again. I was even eating carbs before bed for crying out loud. Luxury!

Thank you!
The extensive review aside from the supplement was fantastic. The reader would enjoy many more reviews of this nature from other board members again, regardless of the supplement but the nature of the information.
take care

Great Review. I know you said pics came out bad, but are you going to post them anyway.
As stated above, regardless of supplement, good information and detail oriented. REPS!

Can you post a link or whatever with detailed info on DC training? All the info I can find is fairly superficial.

Awesome review man, I'm just finishing my second bottle (version 2) and I have to say I've really liked it. Absolutely nothing negative to report (except for a little bit of anabolic dump towards the begining of bottle 2).. strength has gone up, body fat has gone down, I was definitely impressed with AP after initially being shaky. I'd absolutely recommend it for anyone interested in trying to lean out and see some strength gains.

I know, man. I know. It's all tribal knowledge, dammit.
First off, if you can bare it, I'd recommend skimming through the Intense Muscle forums. If you don't have time, read this: http://dc-training.blogspot.com/
There are a lot of inaccuracies, but the way I see it is that you're essentially training your muscles in a way that allows you to work them far more frequently than just once a week, but not exhausting them. We're talking about maximum efficiency, quick recovery, strategically and realistically setting goals and consistently reaching them. I know I've said that I don't like cookie-cutter programs, but I think this is different. It's all about maximum efficiency, and I sometimes go my own way with things.
I will be posting a supplement log VERY soon (I've been spending forever just getting the formatting decent. Guys like Des and boyscouT set the bar pretty high!!), and I will ramble on in there. But I don't like to give people the impression that I'm a DC expert. Dante, Skip and In-Human are the guys you'll really want to talk to if they'll give you the time of day. They're busy as hell, and I have to give them mad props for what they've done. This program allows me to put on muscle, decrease fat and do so in a manner that's not just completely random. I likey.
On the note of "Anabolic Dumps", heh... I never had one. I've been a really regular guy for as long as I remember. When I upped my protein about a year ago, there was a bit of "stalling" but I've had no problems since. AP did nothing negative in that regard. Just wanted to point that out because of all the threads. And XF STILL doesn't give me Anabolic Farts either. Some of you guys are just fascinated with bathroom humor, eh. Sheesh.

Thanks a lot man. A couple years ago i've readed about DC training but never completely understand. I'm going to do a HST cycle and study DC during this time.
By the way I know that logs setups are great but simplicity is the key. Just go with whatever you followed doing this review that it will be an awesome log. Good luck!

Hey Dustin, when you were doing 3 pills a day what was the timing like in relation to your meals?

Great review... I've been scouting AP for a bit and this review definitely increases my likelihood of using this!

Well the first two or three days I was EXTREMELY ANXIOUS to start taking AP, so I was jumping around and eating extra oats. But when I settled down, I just realized I should really keep my diet the same and see how I feel. After a few days, I realized that I was insatiably hungry so I filled the void with carbs. I just added a little more oats to my protein shakes here and there, and it ended up being around 50-80g of carbs on top of what I normally eat.
The cool thing is that I never got bloated either. That's a lot of fiber considering that nearly all my carbohydrates come from oats. And to see my belly fat disappear while eating all that fiber and carbing up was a definite treat. I didn't appreciate it as much until I realized how late at night I was still eating carbs, and when my bottles of AP started to become empty

I basically tried to keep things pretty consistent with everyone else. Three caps each day with my breakfast shake, MRP at work (2.5 hours pre workout) and with my post workout meal. I figured that starvation and working out increase glut-4 and other goodies, so I took my last dose of AP after my post workout shake so I can get a few more carbs before bed. It worked fine so I didn't make any other changes.
As I mentioned earlier, my AP had a ton of extra caps so I tried taking a cap near the end of my workout and it definitely made me swell up nicely by the time I downed my post workout shake. But when my new AP arrives, I think I'll just continue taking it with my post workout meal. It's just a matter of personal preference. I like to think that it offers somewhat of a buffer for any potential glycogen spill-over. But after I exhausted my AP, I took nothing but protein and a multi-vitamin for a while so I'm very, very in tune with my diet. I can't imagine what I'll be like once I start using AP again (no shill!!) lol

Nice review. I'll probably do a write up as well after my 2nd bottle is gone.

Good luck with that, man. I think the best attribute that AP offers to bodybuilders is the ability for a hectic recomp. The more effort you put into things, the better the end result will be obviously. But this REALLY gives you an edge. Make sure to put some pics in your Bodyspace when the time is right.

Heck yeah. It'd be nice to see more feedback now that some of the hype has died down. Excitement is cool, but real-world results are nice too.

Nice Review Dustin! I stumbled upon the DC training "system" a few weeks ago and I'm trying to follow it too. So far, I really like it and my body seems to be responding well to it. I've always responded better hitting my body parts every 4th day. I tried to blast them once a week, but it just doesn't work well for me. Good luck in your training!
